Petitioner further sheweth that part of Section No. 11,
Township No. 37, Range 2 East, mentioned in above schedule, is a
large tract of land containing upwards of 600 acres and part of
which lies immediately adjoining to and includes a portion of the
No. 16 continued
town plat of South Bend, and other portions of which lip; at a dis-
tance of one mile or thereabouts from said town. That a part of
said section No. 11, is in an uncultivated state, and other por-
tions are in a highly cultivated state, and have large and valuable
improvements thereon. That different portions of said Section No.
11 vary much in their respective value, yet said appraisers without
distinguishing the difference in value of the different portions of
said section, appraised the same at the gross sum of 30,000; that
said appraisement had been delivered to Commissioner before time
for returning same had expired. Then petitioner applied to said
Lot Day and John Newell and requested them to appraise Section 11
in such manner as to distinguish between the relative value of the
different portions of said Section, but they utterly refused so to
do; that said appraisement is grossly exorbitant, that said apprais-
ers were not governed by its present value, but by its prospective
value. That said appraisers were guilty of gross fraud and partial-
ity. Wherefore petitioner prays that said appraisement be set aside.
(Petition duly verified by the affidavit of Petitioner).
On September 29th, 1843, cause continued. On April 4th,
1844, cause continued; and on the second day of the September Perm,
1844, parties appear and complainant proves to the satisfaction of
the Court that a Power of Attorney was duly executed by Alexis
r
Coquillard and John L. Defrees and that they are still ,living; by
which Power of Attorney said Coquillard and Defrees agreed that a
decree be entered against them for the sum of $38,914, and that
the decree rendered March Term, 1843, shall be .sustained and not
vacated and annulled, and that the said appraisement made by the
said Lot Day and John Newell shall beset aside, and that 2/3 of
the ,fair value of said property described in said; mortgage is
38,914 and not more; and that said George W. Matthews, the
No. 16 continued
Commissioner named in said decree, do immediately execute and de-
liver to the President of the said Branch, his deed of conveyance,
conveying in fee simple to said State Bank of Indiana, for the use
of her 12th Branch, the real estate described in said mortgage, in
satisfaction of said indebtedness and costs. And thereupon said
defendant Defrees withdraws his answer and cross bill, and it is
admitted by the parties and their solicitors in open Court, that
the amount due upon said mortgage, principal and interest, is
$38,914, and that the decree rendered in said Cause at March Term
1843, shall be sustained and same is therefore decreed to be sus-
tained by the Court, and that said appraisement made by Lot Day and
John Newell shall be set aside and the same is hereby set aside by
the Court. And it is further admitted by the parties and their
solicitors in open court, that 2/3 of the fair value of the property
described in said mortgage, is $38,914.00. And it being thereupon
further agreed to in open Court by said John D. Defrees, Alexis
Coquillard and said State Bank of Indiana, for the use of her said
Branch, by J. L. Jernegan, President and solicitor thereof, it is
decreed by the Court that George W. Matthews, Commissioner as afore-
said, do make, execute and deliver to said President of said Branch
Bank, his deed of conveyance in fee simple, to said State Bank of
Indiana, for the use aforesaid, of the real estate described in
said mortgage, in full discharge and satisfaction thereof, and that
said Alexis Coquillard, and Tohn D. Defrees be forever barred and
foreclosed of and from all equity of redemption, and that plaintiffs
recover their d said Commissioner, costs. Annow comes in open Court, Wr

a Mortgage, and set aside an appraise -
ment. Entered in Complete Record 5,
pages 371 to 399. Bill filed August
19th, 1843, alleges the Mortgage from
Coquillard to said State Bank, the
deed from Coquillard to said Defrees set out at No. 16 above. That
on April 4th, 1843, the Board of Directors of the South Bend Branch
of the State Bank of Indiana, by resolution passed by said Board, ap-
pointed one Anthony Defrees a special agent on behalf of said Branch
Bank, to settle and compromise said indebtedness of said Coquillard
and Defrees (Copy of Resolution set out). The Bill then recites
agreement made between Anthony Defrees and said Coquillard and
Defrees shown at No. 16 above, and the decree made at No. 16 above,
together with the appointment of appraisers, and appraisement therein
made, and the objections to said appraisement. That on May 2nd,
1843, the Board of 'Directors of said South Bend Branch Bank, passed
resolutions that Anthony Defrees, agent of said Bank, in his deal-
ings with Alexis Coquillard and John D. Defrees, has not acted ac-
cording to instructions of this Board of Directors, but has acted in
manner contrary to the express will of Directors of said Board, and
that they disapprove and protest against the acts of said Anthony
Defrees in said matter, especially the appraisement of said Section
No. 11 at $30,000. That orator is remediless at law. Prayer that
decree be vacated and declared null, and void and said appraisement be
set aside,

or any part thereof. And complainant files affidavit of Samuel 0.
Samples dated January 7th, 1846, to the effect that he, believes
that all said defendants are non residents of the State of Indiana,
excepting certain parties not herein concerned.
On the first day of the March Term 1846, complainant appears
and proves personal service on resident defendants and also proves
to the satisfaction of the Court, that notice of the filing and pen-
dency of said complainant's bill has been published for 3 successive
weeks in the St. Joseph Valley Register, a newspaper of general cir-
culation, printed and published in the Town of South Bend, in said

On the third day of said term, complainant appears and the defen-
dants, the President, Directors and Company of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of Michigan and said other defendants are each three
times called, but come not, but make default. Thereupon on motion
of said complainant, said bill is taken as confessed against them.
On the 8th day of the term, complainant appears and on motion of
complainant, this cause is set down for hearing on the bill and ex-
hibits. Whereupon the Court having seen and inspected the same, it
,seems to the court that said Alexis Coquillard executed said mort-
gage at the time and to secure the payment of the sum charged in
said bill, and also that proceedings and decrees of this court were
had as charged in said bill, and also that said several defendants
in said bill obtained several judgments in said bill mentioned and
set forth subsequent to the execution of said mortgage, as by said
bill alleged. Whereupon it is ordered, adjudged and decreed by
the court here that the said defendants do within the space of 90
days from this day pay unto this court for the use of said com-
plainant, $38*914.00 which was due on said mortgage on September
24th, 1844, the date of said decree, together with the interest
